Last Bell
Russia’s high-school graduates said farewell this Friday, 26th May, in a time honoured tradition that includes the ceremonial ringing of “the Last Bell” at schools nationwide.
According to veteran teachers, the traditions surrounding the last day of classes started in the 1950s and — ever since then — they’ve been a favourite celebration, along with graduation night itself in late June.
Old school

About
My wife, bless her tells me that I am rapidly becoming, or perhaps that should read have become a “Grumpy old fart”, so what better forum to spread my doom, gloom and paranoia than WordPress. I also have a love of old pictures, postcards and Edwardian Actresses, in particular Miss Gabrielle Ray which I hope to share at regular intervals. As my collection has grown I have set up another blog which contains only pictures of Miss Ray. Gabrielle Ray Thank you for viewing and comments are welcome.
